A genus of tropical orchids that typically grow on tree branches and are known for their colorful, fragrant flowers and ease of cultivation.
From Greek 'epidendron' (a plant growing on trees), Latinized as a scientific genus name. The name directly describes where these orchids naturally grow—on other trees in tropical forests.
Epidendrum orchids are some of the most beginner-friendly tropical orchids to grow at home, and collectors love them because they bloom prolifically and come in wild color combinations from red to purple to white!
